Rust never sleeps here at Australian Wine and Drinks Review, which is why even on a long weekend trip to the nation’s capital with Mrs Ozwinereview and our cherub, a fair selection of wines came along for the journey.
What a pleasure that this new Ghostgum Vineyard Pinot Noir 2023 was in the box.
Ghostgum is part of the new Southern Light Vineyards single-vineyard project from the Joval family empire. The 2022 wines were hits last year, and based on this singular sample, the 2023s might be even better. It’s delicious.
That’s even more surprising because 2023 was anything but easy on the Peninsula. Late, wet, low-yielding, it was a vintage full of hurdles. Not as hard as in the Yarra, but challenging is the right word.
